NYC apartments with kitchens to be thankful for all year long

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Tuesday, November 21, 2023

Chef's kitchen with center island and appliance package including dishwasher and wine fridge (Douglas Elliman)

At this time of year, the question of where to have Thanksgiving dinner is often determined by where it can be made. The typical New York City apartment is ill equipped to handle cooking demands of this magnitude, which is why some might find it easier to go to a restaurant or order takeout Thanksgiving meals. But with certain appliances and design features, multi-course meals are easier at Thanksgiving and all year round.

This article takes a look at kitchen features that dramatically streamline the cooking, prep, and storage processes. It also presents a selection of both approachable (under $2.5 million) and uber-luxury apartments featuring these coveted touches.

Center island

Center island in the kitchen of Vesta 24, #3A (Brown Harris Stevens)

Once the food is done cooking, the biggest challenge is where to cool and keep it until it’s time to serve, especially when there’s still prep work to be done. Center islands come in handy for both cooling dishes and continuing prep work, not to mention acting as the center of the kitchen and fostering a feeling of connection for all inside.

Pot filler

Pot filler over the stove at 144 West 27th Street, #6R (Berkshire Hathwaway HomeServices New York Properties)

Even in a New York City apartment where the distance might not be especially great, it's no fun to lug a heavy pot of water from the sink to the stovetop. But with a pot filler (also known as a "pasta faucet") over the stove, the distance becomes nonexistent. This makes it a popular addition when homeowners redo their kitchens, and some designers of new developments have opted to include it from the start.

Dishwasher

Open kitchen with dishwasher at One Manhattan Square, #9L (Extell)

Butler's pantry at 812 Park Avenue, #11/12C (Douglas Elliman)

Pocket doors

Kitchen with pocket doors at West End and Eighty Seven, #8A (Compass)

Open kitchens have become the norm in new developments because they allow for uninterrupted light and flow. Unfortunately, this also puts dirty dishes and crowded counters on full display.
